The study aimed to review linerboard compositions of corrugated fiberboard boxes for Oriental melons(Cucumis melon L. var makuwa), analyzing relationships among material compositions, price, weight of boxes, theoretical compression and bursting strength of various liner boards. 19 and 22 different liner boards were currently used for the bleached and the unbleached corrugated boards, respectively. The corrugated board containers with the bleached liners were mostly used in the market although the average price was 10 percents higher than the unbleached. The average compression strength of the bleached. We strongly recommend to redesign the boxes because the average compression and bursting strength of the current boxes were much higher than national packaging standards as much as 70 and 82, respectively.

온도 및 습도 변화에 따른 라이너원지의 압축강도 열화를 측정한 결과 압축강도는 온도변화에 영향이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 습도변화의 경우 66% RH에서는 IK원지의 강도저하가 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 93% RH에서는 KA원지의 강도저하가 40%로 가장 낮았으며 SK원지가 56%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 비압축강도의 경우 66% RH에서는 SC 마니라와 IK 원지가, 93% RH에서는 IK원지와 KA원지가 가장 우수하였다. 원 단위 압축강도에서
